harry reid has not passed a budget in three years and we want to raise the debt limit yet again and washington d.c. is spending money like dunken sailors. >> let me stop for a moment. i want to interject something, you're talking about the spending problem. i want to bring up another poll about the spending problem. check this out. recently took, president obama says the government doesn't have a spending problem and we ask the american people that we sample what do they think? 83% says yes, it does have a spending problem and 14% say, it doesn't. well, those 14% might be extremely well off or maybe their head is in the sand and they don't see the need, the economic needs of the american people. christy, what say you about this? do we have a spending problem? and why can't the obama administration admit that. >> we have a spending problem and what we need to do is careful investors in the economy and they say again and again and anytime tell them yes, there should be a careful balances of tax cuts and spending. >> and what we've seen for the republican party is cut, cut, cut. the fact is that'

if they dance jigs, i think harry reid is dancing one. he was the one candidate who could win that seat. he was running even or slightly ahead of markey. and while i think he was not as strong as he was going to be, he was when he first won. if the mood got a little bit bad on president obama, he could have won it again. he's smart to be running for governor. a, he would have had to run over and over again. and d, republicans do much better. the last republican win was senator ed brook way back in 1972. so i think it's good for democrats and probably good for scott brown. >> now the republicans felt they had a shot with brown. and i remember when they were killing susan rice unfairly in my opinion. the thought was they really were after susan rice because they wanted john kerry and so that kerry could -- the seat would go to scott brown or republican. now brown is out, they don't have a clear shot at the seat. this has to help president obama. scott brown not running is a big win for the president if the republicans can't come up with a c

the fact that harry reid's senate and that harry reid himself has gotten in the way of a former really good budget chairman not passing a budget is shameful. and now you have the president saying, well, i'm against the sequester cuts. well, okay, great. what are you going to replace them with? i don't know. no specifics. they never give specifics. >> so i don't know, because i was working on my column and talking to a couple different people in the white house yesterday. and they were talking about the president's statement yesterday. and he is saying to republicans, come meet with him. anytime. they can come right now. and he will work on a deal. it can be a smaller deal if we can't make the sequestration deadline. and it can involve spending and revenue and a mix, and that they haven't taken their toys and walked away. they've offered $400 billion in health care cuts and other things. the republicans have other ideas, come on over to the white house. put them on the table. let's make a small deal. if we can't get to a big deal, he would like to get to a big deal. and he's invited the
